The Friends of the Library will start their weeklong book sale Monday, and they have several tables of books ready at the Copperas Cove Public Library. The sale will run Monday through Saturday and is open during the library’s normal business hours.

Next week is going to be a light one at the Copperas Cove Public Library because the doors are closed Thursday, Friday and Saturday so staff and volunteers can spend the Thanksgiving holiday weekend with their families.

I was both surprised and disappointed to learn the Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine would no longer be published. I learned this when I received my October/November issue in the mail. The announcement was printed in the “From the Editor” column at the front of the magazine. I was also feeling a little “duped” because just this summer I received a renewal statement in the mail, which I promptly sent back with my check. Now I will be receiving Quilting Arts Magazine until my subscription runs out. Maybe I’ll enjoy the replacement magazine and decide to keep renewing it in the future. We’ll see.

The Copperas Cove Public Library is hoping to see a large group of teens for the Teen Reading Club on Thursday, because library Director Kevin Marsh has some new ideas to run past them for the upcoming renovations to the library.

The Copperas Cove Public Library has finalized its November calendar, and there are several events planned for the month. Many recurring groups and clubs have their events scheduled for their usual times, and one club is holding its second-ever meeting this Thursday.

It’s pretty much impossible to run out of books to talk about at the Copperas Cove Public Library, and it is no different this week as library staff and volunteers continue to sort and place new books on the shelf from the big end-of-year purchase in August.
